Centralized Cloud Service Gateway for Unified Request Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Configuring and altering cloud environments with multiple cloud services is complex and inefficient due to unique programming interfaces for each service, leading to potential service issues and increased overhead when manual interactions are required.
Innovation Solution
A centralized management system that includes a single gateway to ingest service requests and automatically distribute them to associated services, eliminating the need for manual interaction with multiple service interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple unique programming interfaces are used for each cloud service, then each service can be managed independently, but the complexity of configuring and altering cloud environments increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal configuration interface that can manage multiple cloud services through a single standardized API. This allows administrators to configure and alter cloud environments without dealing with multiple unique programming interfaces, thereby reducing configuration complexity while maintaining service independence through proper request routing
2Ease of operation
If manual interaction with multiple service interfaces is required, then precise control over each service is achieved, but the overhead and time required for management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that sits between the client and multiple cloud services. This intermediary receives configuration requests through a single interface, determines which services need to be modified, and automatically routes the requests to the appropriate services. This eliminates the need for manual interaction with multiple service interfaces while maintaining precise control over each service's configuration
3Productivity
If a centralized gateway is implemented to route requests automatically, then management overhead is reduced, but the system architecture becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system into distinct functional components: a centralized gateway for request reception, an analysis component for determining service associations, and routing logic for distribution. This segmentation allows the centralized gateway to reduce management overhead through automation while managing architectural complexity by organizing functions into modular, independent segments that can be developed and maintained separately

AI summary
Systems and methods for managing a plurality of cloud services of a cloud-based system include receiving a request from a client associated with a cloud-based system, wherein the request is to perform one or more actions associated with the cloud-based system; determining if the client is allowed to perform the one or more actions based on a scope associated with the client; and routing the request to one or more services of the cloud-based system based on the determining. The systems can automatically determine the one or more services of the cloud-based system associated with the request; and route the request to the one or more services of the cloud-based system based thereon.
